I have posted ``one SystemV emulation of BSD's "gettimeofday(2)"'' to the
alt.sources newsgroup.  My routine works fine with the entire 4.3BSD Tahoe
networking software suite on a 3B1, but note the caveat (in the posting)
re: 60Hz or 100Hz resolution on YOUR SysV box.

Since the presumption is you're on a pre-SVR4 system (which has gettimeoday()),
the best you will see is either 1/60 or 1/100 second resolution on SVR2/SVR3.
